Alexander Myers, 23, was shot and killed by Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officers in the early hours of April 6, 2015, after a confrontation on the front porch of his family home on Ashby Drive. His mother, Sharon Myers, had woken to a loud noise and found Alexander inside the house holding a rifle and saying he was done; she tried to comfort him and police were called. Officers encountered Alexander still armed when they arrived, and a brief exchange of gunfire ended with him dead.

Myers was a Roncalli High School graduate and a member of Alpha Phi Omega at Purdue University who had been struggling with depression. Authorities determined the death resulted from the police-involved shooting and no arrests were made; there were no criminal charges against the officers. The case prompted community discussion about how law enforcement handles mental health crises.

Does anyone have information about the incident or knew Alexander and can shed light on the events that night?
